Hi Avi,
Are you trying to enter anything with HTML code into the description box?
If so, can you try entering some plain text and let us know if you still encounter the error?
Also, are you using any security plugins?
Hi
I am entering plain text and getting this error message. The only way to proceed is to erase the text and delete any blank spaces. The only ‘security’ plugins I have active are Akismet, Limit Login Attempts, Simple Optimizer
Is this a known issue?
Hi Avi,
In that case, it sounds like this could be caused by something in your htaccess file. Could you take a look at it to see if anything extra has been added?
This is what I have in the .htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Hi Avi,
There’s definitely extra stuff in there, beyond the WordPress default, but I can’t tell what might be causing a security rule problem in your WordPress install. Perhaps you want to contact your host with the error message you’re getting to see if they can tell what’s causing it and/or write an exception.
